Abstract

Red Flag Alert has over 7.5 million records on every business in the UK from sole trader to limited and quoted companies.

Whether you're looking to gain detailed insight into recent or historical financial performance of a UK company, Red Flag Alert has over 7.5 million records and offers a comprehensive database of every business in the UK, from sole trader to limited and quoted companies. Its data comes from reputable sources such as Dun & Bradstreet and Companies House.

Owned by Begbies Traynor, the UK's leading insolvency service provider, Red Flag Alert has been developed using their expertise and knowledge of the behaviour of previously insolvent businesses and their directors. Red Flag Alert can be used to cover the entire lifecycle of your customers and suppliers within any business function from sales, credit control, collection, risk and compliance.

It can be used to benchmark a company's financial performance against its peers or build and maintain lists of comparable companies to sell to them, compete or invest with them.

The Company Health Feature provides a useful warning of actual or potential problems associated with a firm and the database offers a clear and intuitive search interface with both basic and advanced search features. You can also create and download your own bespoke company reports and receive email alerts in real-time helping you minimise risk.

Red Flag Alert is used widely throughout the UK by those in accountancy, law and property firms to carry out due diligence checks and manage risk and would be a useful addition to anyone needing reliable UK company data.

Red Flag Alert has a host of interesting features. The Mini Review of Red Flag Alert is now available for those with a FreePint Subscription.
